Hot Quad!

[n811]

Anyone have a temp sensor on their quad? I have one on the dipstick and HOLY CRAP this thing is getting up to 250 degrees! It may even be getting hotter when I'm riding farther. I just put on a spal fan but its not really dropping the temps all that much. I'm gonna try to run the dpr9z plug(colder) think this might help? What is Way too hot? am I already there?

well you should have been running the colder plug with your setup. 70-100° C hotter is the range for the next plug colder which your probally there.
